Parenting Our Tweens & Teens

Laying groundwork NOW to assist your current /
future teenager makes good parenting sense.

Guided by our ‘core issue’ adoption knowledge, we
can empower our tweens and teens, and still
provide them with background support during
adolescence -- years when our
adopted children may need our
'invisible toolbox parenting' more than ever.

Teach Your Tween / Teen to

in Adoption:

Loss
Rejection
Guilt / Shame
Grief
Identity
Intimacy
Mastery / Control
